My dd after having chicken pox in april developed some really bad spots, like boils in size which caused some awful scars. We were told by various gp's that it was
a) infected chicken pox
b) reoccurence of chicken pox
c) molloscum
d) like impetigo but not impetigo
it cleared up after two lots of anti biotics. It occured again a couple of months later and then occured in her twin a couple of months after that. She now has it again, so three times since April with her twin having it once.
My Gp has admitted he doesn't know what it is, but treats it with anti b's as these seem to work, but obviously it is reoccuring so maybe they are not irradicating it completely.
They start as pimples, with a very tiny black dot in the middle, they then progress to having a large red area around the pimple where the skin looks infected. They then errupt into a huge spot like a boil and then after a couple of weeks fade away leaving a big purple scar. They are also incredibly painful and causing my dd quite a bit of distress. i was worried initially about the scarring but to be honest over the summer months, lots of exposure to sunlight has led the scars to fade significantly.
Lots of teachers, friends and family have all had a look and all above conditions and suggestions have been ruled out, does anyone have any idea what this is??
Should I push for the GP to investigate this further?
I would really appreciate any ideas at all thanks for reading
